Pausing a monitor

Pause a monitor when you’re about to take something down on purpose, so you don’t get alerts you already know about.

Pause and resume

1. Open Monitors.
2. Find the monitor and switch it off with its enabled toggle (also available when you edit it).
3. Switch it back on when you’re done.

Or ask the assistant: “pause the staging monitor”, then later “resume the staging monitor”.

What pausing does

• No checks run and no alerts are sent while it’s paused.
• Its history is kept.
• It still counts toward your plan’s monitor limit. To free the slot, delete it instead.
